The blobfish is grayish with a pronounced bulbous "nose". (see related link for photo)
the weirdest looking fish is the blobfish go to google images and type in 'blobfish' and you will see what i mean.
Yes, the Blobfish is a real animal. They live around Australia and Tasmania at depths lower than 800 meters. They are a recent discovery and little is known about them. There is concern that the habitats are being distroyed by the act of bottom trawling. Since the Blobfish have little muscle, they eat what swims by them and have a body like a jellyfish. Blobfish surely are interesting creatures.
Blobfish do not have specific names based on gender, as they are not typically given individual names. In general, the species is known as Psychrolutes marcidus, and both male and female blobfish look quite similar. The term "blobfish" refers to the species as a whole rather than to individual fish.
it feels like flubber or jello
As a deep-sea fish with little muscle, the blobfish eats any matter that floats in front of it or has fish waste on it.
The blobfish belongs to the Animalia kingdom.
I dont know how mach does a blobfish weight does anyone know?
A blobfish is an ectotherm, meaning it relies on external environmental conditions to regulate its body temperature. Ectothermic animals, like the blobfish, typically inhabit environments where their body temperature fluctuates with the surrounding water temperature. This adaptation is common in many marine species, particularly those living at great depths, where the blobfish is found.
Oh, dude, blobfish smell like... well, nothing, really. They live in the deep sea where there's not much going on in the scent department. So, if you're looking for a fish that won't make your nose scrunch up, the blobfish is your guy. Like, they're basically the unscented candles of the ocean.
A Blobfish weighs about 20 pounds.
Blobfish is edible, but has a poison sake that can kill you if not properly removed.
A blobfish uses its fins to paddle and its tail to steer/change direction. However... Because the blobfish is a sea-bed fish which lives along the bottom of the sea beds where the pressure is so high, it is impossible for the gas bladder, found in most fish, to achieve perfect buoyancy. Therefore the blobfish evolved gelatine-like flesh which helps them to float in the extremely high pressures without using all of their energy. A disadvantage of this is that the blobfish has relatively little muscles to help the fins and tails work properly. Therefore when blobfish hunt for food, they merely swallow edible things that simply float in front of it, rather than swimming around hunting food like most fish. Blobfish are on the verge of extinction because of deep-sea trawler fishing.
